We used to do like a 4 pack of events of music events at Carnegie hall with a friend who then moved to Japan and then Covid shut the whole thing done. I enjoyed the classical works but as you might expect they had to throw in some newfangled stuff from time to time. And a couple of times Opera stuff. My wife and friend would then have mercy on me and we would leave and get a drink instead. I know English, French, Latin and Gaelic, but not Italian. So having someone with good lungs belting it out to me - eh.

When she sings "Time to Say Goodbye" with Bocelli it is so beautiful I always get tears in my eyes - just something about the way some music strikes your ear and soul at the same time. Ditto for Gounod's "Ave Maria" sung by a good soprano.

Here you go, a beautiful voice with nice packaging and a healthy set of things in her chest . . .
Oh yes, those things are called
LUNGS! [:-]

Have to hear her sing The Phantom of the Opera with... just about anyone. Even Antonio Banderas.[8|]

Ava Maria almost always makes me tear up. Not sure why. The other one that fits in that bucket is Silent Night.

You have an awfully nice computer for a geezer.
Am I allowed to grump at the tender young age of 30?
